Yet again the President said he would veto the next US government funded stem cell research bill to pass his desk. If we are going to throw out the embryos, then how is that destruction different from any other type of destruction? It makes no sense!!
Emily Yoffe wrote a good op-ed peice in the Washington Post.

I posted some comments but I am happy to post them here as well.
IF humans can reduce energy consumption, that is good. Will it change the earths climate? Nope
The least amount of waste product(pollution) the better. I just don’t believe that ‘big oil’ and ‘SUVs’ are to blame for climate change. The main problem is water vapor, but you can’t have a political campaign against water vapor. So the small amount of CO2, has to change the larger problem of water vapor. It helps to have a target as clear as ‘big oil’ and ‘big coal’. Are you surprised the clarion call goes along with a ‘carbon tax’?
1. What is the ideal climate of the earth?
2. Please correlate the medieval warm period to today’s climate. Grapes were cultivated in northern scandinavia.
3. Please correlate the fact that when Greenland was discovered it was largely ice-free
4. Please explain how such a small human contribution of CO2 (5% of total CO2, 0.563% if water vapor is included). Do we need to change years of statistics training to include tipping points? 5% is usually considered statistically negligable.
5. Please correlate changes in Sun output and cosmic rays to global cooling and warming.
6. Stop insulting the intelligence of the larger group of dissenting accredited scientists that have disagreed that humans are causing the warming. Some of which resigned from the IPCC because they disagreed with the conclusions.
6a. Please correlate the lack of upper atmosphere temperature gain, usually indicative of the greenhouse effect.
7. In 1975, the evidence showed the earth was cooling since the 1940s and we were at the apex of climate change and heading to an ice age. Even though CO2 levels had risen sharply since the 1940s or before that rise in CO2 we had a warming with no CO2 rise.
8. The earth was flat, until proven otherwise.
9. Thunderstorms were caused by God, until proven otherwise
10. The sun, planets and stars revolved around the earth, until proven otherwise.
11. The speed of sound cannot be surpassed, another one bites the dust!
The earth is resiliant, it has gone from almost fully glaciated to almost, if not, glacier-free. Where was the carbon before it was in the ground? The earth works on cycles. Back to the start
What is the ideal climate of the earth?
They will happily fight terrorists as long as they are not in Iraq, but they are nervous about being on television with Chris Wallace and Brit Hume. I am not sure what that means. I think it means that Fox must be biased and would portray them badly. Do they really think we are going to buy that. I have been reading the blogs that the candidates are beholden. It is strange that the Republican candidates did just fine on CNN, although poor Rudy, they must have asked 10 abortion questions. One question I would like to ask Senator Clinton; “Did you believe Senator Al Gore on 9/29/92, when he criticized President Bush 41 about Saddam Hussein?” or is this all politics because President Bush won the White house twice?
Here are Senator Gore’s comments:

This is why they will not go on Fox News. Senator Gore, at the time, has serious credibility issues
